Internship Program

PICS offers internship opportunities for enthusiastic early-career researchers from Bachelor (BSc, BTech...) and Masters (MSc, MTech,...) students and PhD beginners. Our Internship Program is designed to provide some foundational knowledge in theory and dissertations for a few selected students. Also, we have some internship opportunities to interested students with hands-on exposure to science popularization & science popularization programs. Interns get the chance to work closely with faculty and researchers on projects related to "Cosmology, Gravitation, Astrophysics" for research and "Astronomy & Space Sciences" for Science Popularization & Science Communication, and Selfology.

Selfology Program

Selfology is not a formal academic discipline (yet). It's an area of study is being designed at PICS to bring in regular educational curriculum. This concept of Self-knowledge, Self-exploration and consciousness studies can be incorporated into various areas of study and personal growth. Here is a suggested syllabus for a Selfology course or program for all:
